Financial Times 17,740 by FALCON
The puzzle opens with this announcement:
Allan Scott, who compiled nearly 400 cryptic crosswords for the FT as Falcon, has died. A regular compiler for several other newspapers, he also set many Polymaths, the FT’s Saturday general knowledge puzzle. His guiding principles were that “the shorter the clue the better” and that in the contest between compiler and solver, “the solver should always win”. He worked right up until last month. This is his penultimate cryptic puzzle.
I for one will certainly miss this setter. This posthumous offering from Falcon displays his usual solid setting style . . . ,
